Submitted By: This is when someone OTHER THEN YOU sends in the code. Reviewed By: This is when someone OTHER THEN YOU reviews the code. If someone else submitted the code it is assumed that you reviewed it before you committed it. Obtained From: This is when you grab software from OTHER REPOSITORIES. This will never refer to a person, ever ever ever. OpenBSD, NetBSD, some PD cd you found, whatever, this is software from a thing not a person. If you wrote and are committing the code, you need _nothing_. These are only when a 3rd party (vendor or person) is involved and we need to give credit. While I'm here, when refering to someone with a freefall account, it is redundant to use the full name, for instance. Use: Submitted By: billf, jkh as opposed to Submitted By: Bill Fumerola <billf@FreeBSD.org>, Jordan K. Hubbard <jkh@FreeBSD.org> However, when refering to someone outside of the FreeBSD.org domain the above format of First Name <user@domain.tld> or FAMILYNAME personalname <user@domain.jp> is the only method to use. Someone should SGMLize or include the above in new committer documents. -- - bill fumerola - billf@chc-chimes.com - BF1560 - computer horizons corp - - ph:(800) 252-2421 - bfumerol@computerhorizons.com - billf@FreeBSD.org - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
